Role of leuprolide acetate depot in hysteroscopic surgery: a controlled study.
1993
Objective To evaluate leuprolide acetate (LA) depot (Enantone Depot, Takeda, Italy) when administered preoperatively in hysteroscopic surgery. Design Prospective, comparative study. Setting University Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Patients One hundred ninety-three patients (114 pretreated with LA depot and 79 controls) who underwent hysteroscopic surgery for uterine septa (group A), submucous fibroids (group B), and abnormal uterine bleeding (group C). Results In groups B and C there was a significant reduction in the operating time, bleeding during the operation, and the amount of distention medium required after LA depot administration, but no significant differences in surgical fe…
A randomized comparison of endometrial laser intrauterine thermotherapy and hysteroscopic endometrial resection.
2003
Objective To investigate the difference of long-term amenorrhea rate in patients with menorrhagia treated by endometrial laser intrauterine thermal therapy (ELITT), a new nonhysteroscopic endometrial ablation procedure, versus transcervical hysteroscopic endometrial resection (TCRE). Design Randomized clinical study. Healthy volunteers in an academic research environment. Setting Academic teaching hospital. Patient(s) Premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Intervention(s) Fifty-eight patients were treated with the ELITT procedure and 58 patients with TCRE; both groups were treated with GnRH agonists before the procedure. Main outcome measure(s) Bleeding status and patient satis…
Menstruation: science and society
2020
© 2020 The Authors Women's health concerns are generally underrepresented in basic and translational research, but reproductive health in particular has been hampered by a lack of understanding of basic uterine and menstrual physiology. Menstrual health is an integral part of overall health because between menarche and menopause, most women menstruate. Yet for tens of millions of women around the world, menstruation regularly and often catastrophically disrupts their physical, mental, and social well-being. Enhancing our understanding of the underlying phenomena involved in menstruation, abnormal uterine bleeding, and other menstruation-related disorders will move us closer to the goal of p…
(A)symptomatic necrotizing arteritis of the female genital tract.
2000
Abstract Aims: The vasculitides represent a heterogenous set of disorders that differ in prognosis and response to therapy. Beside systemic vasculitides, the development of localized forms of arteritis is well known though uncommon and the etiopathogenesis is not yet definitely clear. Methods: Patients with necrotizing arteritis of the female genital tract proven by histology are studied in a retrospective analysis. Results: Three cases of necrotizing arteritis with histological features of panarteritis nodosa apparently confined to the female genital tract are presented. None of these patients had prior history of systemic vasculitis. The acute necrotizing vasculitis was confined only to t…
Endometrial response to concurrent treatment with vaginal progesterone and transdermal estradiol.
2012
ABSTRACT Objective To describe the effect of the intermittent administration of vaginal progesterone and a low-dose estradiol patch on endometrial stability, as assessed by the rate of amenorrhea and endometrial stimulation. Methods This was an open study in which 64 moderately symptomatic, postmenopausal women were treated in the outpatient clinic of our University Hospital for different intervals up to 1 year. The treatment consisted of a combination of patches delivering 25 µg/day estradiol and intravaginal pills containing 100 mg of micronized progesterone. Patches and pills were administered concomitantly in a twice-a-week protocol. The endometrial response was assessed by endovaginal …
Outcomes of monopolar versus bipolar endometrial ablation on uterine bleeding and psychophysical wellbeing.
2017
Background To compare outcomes of endometrial ablation with monopolar versus bipolar resection on uterine bleeding and psychophysical wellbeing. Methods In a prospective randomized study, 100 perimenopausal patients, without desire of pregnancy and with no response to pharmacological treatment, underwent endometrial ablation from 2012 to 2014. They were randomly divided in two groups: 50 patients treated with monopolar electrode resection loop (group A) and 50 patients treated with bipolar electrode resection loop (group B). Operative parameters were immediately assessed. Menstrual outcome parameters and psycho-physical well-being parameters were evaluated after 12 months. Results No signif…
Bleeding during transfer is the only parameter of patient anatomy and embryo quality that affects reproductive outcome: a prospective study.
2009
There is very little information available regarding the relevance of the position of embryo replacement during ET and the different anatomic characteristics of the recipient in the transfer process and on the result of assisted reproduction techniques. We prospectively analyzed, using multivariate regression analysis, 375 ETs, 177 of which were from donated oocytes and 198 from patients' own oocytes, and we found no effect of the anatomic characteristics of the uterus on the chances of achieving pregnancy when data were analyzed according to patient age and embryo quality. Interestingly, there was a significant decrease in pregnancy rates when blood was present in the catheter after the pr…
